About the album

After the successful first CD “Torres del Alma” with quartets from the Spanish Renaissance, the idea arose to create a second CD with new music and arrangements for the Eagle recorder and a unique performance of the 'Lachrimae, or Seaven Teares' of John Dowland with guest musician Daniël Brüggen. With this recording we aim to explore the extremes of the recorder quartet sound and forge new paths. Along with the medieval Aguila Altera, the classical flute quartets of Haydn happen to sound excellent on a modern Eagle recorder. Ronald Moelker has arranged a saxophone quartet from Bob Mintzer and written a Chorale for two Eagle altos, a tenor and a bass.
Na de succesvolle eerste CD 'Torres del Alma' met kwartetten uit de Spaanse Renaissance ontstaat het idee een tweede CD uit te brengen met nieuwe muziek en arrangementen met de Eagle blokfluit en een unieke uitvoering van de 'Lachrimae, or Seaven Teares' van John Dowland met gastspeler Daniël Brüggen.
Met deze opname wil het Bassano Quartet de uitersten van de blokfluitkwartet-klank doorgronden en nieuwe wegen inslaan.
Zowel het Middeleeuwse Aquila Altera als de Klassieke fluitkwartetten van Haydn blijken uitmuntend te klinken op de moderne Eagle blokfluit. Ronald Moelker arrangeert een saxofoonkwartet van Bob Mintzer en schrijft een Koraal voor twee Eagle alten, tenor en bas.
